General Notes: Wife - Catharine Overholt


This person is given as having been married twice. This is highly speculative; the same source gives what appears to be two completely different statements about her and gives no hints as to how these might reconcile. The compiler suspects a serious mistake has been made but has no choice other than to enter the information as given.
